| Summary |
Uranium munitions were used for the first time by US and British Allied Forces in the 1991 Gulf War. This program follows two men, Professor Siegwart-Horst Gunther, a former colleague of Albert Schweitzer, and Tedd Weyman, deputy director of the Uranium Medical Research Centre in Toronto, Canada. They travel to Iraq to search for evidence that depleted uranium (DU) ammunition was used by the ton in the recent war as they are convinced that DU is responsible for Gulf War Syndrome that has undermined the health of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians. However, the USA and British governments claim there is no evidence that uranium ammunition is to blame for Gulf War Syndrome which has now been diagnosed in more than 150,000 war veterans. This program also interviews two veterans of the first Gulf War, Kenny Duncan and Jenny Moore, who describe their exposure to DU weapons and the congenital abnormalities of their children (Repeat) |
